Viral Respiratory Disease Flashcards
who is feline rhinotracheitis common in?
cats less than a year old
what signs are associated with feline rhinotracheitis acute onset?
sneezing/coughing
profuse serous nasal and ocular discharges, conjunctivitis, keratitis
frothy salivation
dyspnea
anorexia
weight loss
fever
what are the four forms of feline viral rhinotracheitis?
acute
chronic
systemic
latent
when are herpesviridae well transmitted?
to young
in high density animal situations with droplet spread is facilitated
most _____________ grow rapidly, lyse infected cells, and establish latent infections primarily in sensory ganglia
alphaherpesviruses
most _____________ replicate slowly and have delayed cell lysis
betaherpesvirinae
most _____________ are lymphotropic, and become latent in lymphocytes
gammaherpesviridae
what characterizes herpesviridae genomes?
large and diverse
are herpesviridae enveloped?
yes
what are the initial signs of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis?
fever, depression, inappetence, profuse nasal discharge
serous then mucopurulent
subclinical, mild, severe
what are some of the later signs of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis?
dyspnea
mouth breathing
salivation
deep bronchial cough
what are lesions associated with infectious bovine rhinotracheitis?
hyperemic nasal mucosa and nasal cavity lesions
conjunctivitis with profuse lacrimation
who is infectious pustular vulvovaginitis most common in?
dairy cows
what does infectious bovine rhinotracheitis contribute to?
bovine respiratory disease complex
what are the clinical signs of infectious pustular vulvovaginitis?
fever
depression
anorexia
stand apart
tail held away from vulva
what does bovine herpes virus-1 cause?
infectious bovine rhinotracheitis and infectious pustular vulvovaginitis
rarely at same time
what is bovine herpesvirus-1 implicated in?
abortion
balanoposthitis in bulls
conjunctivitis
ADR in calves- death
disease in swine and horses
how is bovine herpesvirus-1 transmitted?
sciatic and trigeminal ganglia are sites of latency
droplet respiratory transmission
coitus
what can cause “abortion storms” without any other clinical signs?
caprine herpesvirus-1
what causes fatal generalized hemorrhagic infection in pups?
canine herpes
how does canine herpes manifest in puppies?
systemic infection of epithelial and endothelial cells
lung, liver, and kidney necrosis with hemorrhage
painful crying, abdominal pain, anorexia, and dyspnea
how does canine herpes manifest in adults dogs?
genital (venereal) disease
respiratory disease (can be part of kennel cough)
how is canine herpes transmitted?
to pup from vaginal birth canal
oronasally from other animals
crosses placenta
how do we control canine herpes?
adults are disease reservoir
vaccinate breeding animals
isolate affected bitches and litters
does not survive long in environment
raise body temperature if hypothermic
what is the most important viral cause of equine abortion?
equine herpesvirus-1
what does primary infection of a pregnant mare by equine herpesvirus-1 cause?
abortion
mare not seriously ill
how does equine herpesvirus-1 infect the CNS?
infected lymphocytes and monocytes/macrophages carry virus to CNS where it infects endothelial cells
how are focal lesions from equine herpesvirus-1 identified?
discrete, randomly distributed areas of hemorrhage within the brain and/or spinal cord of affected horses
what are the clinical signs of equine herpesvirus-4?
mainly respiratory
fever
anorexia
profuse serous nasal discharge that later becomes mucopurulent
how are equine herpesviruses 1 and 4 transmitted?
genital and respiratory secretions, droplet transmission
how are equine herpesviruses 1 and 4 diagnosed?
indirect through pathology of aborted fetus
immunoflourscence/immunohistochemical staining of tissues
fetal lung, thymus, spleen
rising titers in affected mare
what lesions does equine coital exanthema cause?
acute pustular and ulcerative lesions on vaginal, vestibular, and perineal areas, penis and prepuce, sometimes teats, lips, upper respiratory
can equine herpesvirus-3 (equine coital exanthema) cause respiratory signs?
subclinical in yearling horses
what does infectious laryngotracheitis cause?
conjunctivitis
dyspnea
bloody expectorant
hemorrhage, blood, mucous in trachea
death
who does infectious laryngotracheitis impact?
chickens and pheasants
how are caliciviruses released?
cell lysis

B
C
D
(E)
what are the important surface glycoproteins of influenza viruses?
hemagglutinin (H or HA)
neuraminidase (N or NA)
how do influenza viruses enter cells?
hemagglutinin
virus attachment and fusion to certain carbohydrate linkages
sialic acid-galactose residues
what is influenza reassortment?
genomic segments from different virus subtypes mix together to form new combinations
